Don't really know where to ask this, but wiki lists The Dutch Merchant Fleet as one of Princess Margriets godparents, is that true?

Yes,that is absolutely true!

As the Princess was born in Canada during WW II it was a sign of hope and a sign of gratefullness by her parents towards the dutch Merchant Fleet who lost so many ships and crew in the war and still persevered,lenient as they were/are.Other godparents included Francis,Earl of Athlone who was Governor General of Canada at the time and ofcourse married to a full cousin of Queen Wilhelmina,Alice.

Princess Margriet has the names Margriet (daisy in dutch) Franciska,after the Earl of Athlone.

Royal sorry for deadly crash - 28 years
Princess Margriet's husband, Pieter van Vollenhoven, has offered his apologies to the mother of a young man who died in 1983 after his car crashed with the one driven by Mr Van Vollenhoven, Dutch free newspaper De Pers reports.
On 30 December 1983, Jürgen Bienerth, a 20-year-old student from West Germany, was driving his two-door Renault in the Austrian resort of Maria Alm when he was hit by the four-wheel drive Mercedes Mr Van Vollenhoven was driving.
Mr Van Vollenhoven, Princess Margriet and the two bodyguards accompanying them subsequently declared they had been driving at 30 kilometres per hour, adding that Mr Bienert had been at driving 60 kilometres per hour and had swerved onto their side of the road.
Mr Van Vollenhoven, the paper writes, only sent flowers for the funeral.
Mr Bienert’s mother says she has never heard from Mr Van Vollenhoven since then. Except for a single interview with Dutch magazine Privé, Mr Van Vollenhoven had, until now, never mentioned the incident again.
 
Pieter van Vollenhoven will unveil the monument for the victims of the january 8th 1962 train crash at Harmelen this afternoon.During a very foggy morning two trains crashed near the village of Harmelen causing a disaster with 93 dead and over 50 seriously injured.

It was the accident with the highest number of casualties ever in The Netherlands.The monument bares the names of all victims.
